Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

When is your surgery? April 4th
What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”
Starting weight? 285
Goal weight? 175

Thanks for all the prayers and advice

I'm sure you will sail right through with flying colors. 7 months out , now at 232 from HW 365+ , SW 319, and although it hasn't always been smooth sailing, my boat will still make it safe to shore.

Let’s go laundry, cleaning, packing anything to keep me busy!! Tuesday is right around the corner

I feel the same way. First it was like April 9th would never get here, and now..... ?. I can’t believe we are almost there! Best of luck to you and everyone else this month and on this journey.

Ohhhh I’m day 4 pre-op diet and booked in for April 18th. Yay

starting weight before pre-op was 138kg

GW ??? I don’t know! How do people decide this?

Good luck! My surgeon set a goal just inside the healthy BMI range for my height. I just seem to remember feeling great when my weight was in the 130 lb range so that is how I picked. I just wanted to be healthy and able to move around more freely. Good luck!

So excited for you! Hang in there and keep busy! ?

Clothes are laid out ready for Tuesday and to stay busy tomorrow I planned a fun day at the dentist LMAO.. Going to the dentist for a deep cleaning really should keep my mind off things for a long while:) Everyone in the house is ready I think... I have let them eat whatever as usual because it is me that needs to change and I am hoping that maybe once I can eat real food again they will come around. I have been around every food temptation and think I have handled it very well even with my 11 yr old son in the car with fries:) yummmm fries:) Good luck for everyone who has surgery tomorrow wishing you all the best.

That is so exciting! Good luck! I am trying to understand and get used to this forum, but hopefully I will be able to see your updates. Sleep with a smile tonight knowing you’ll be free of the burden of weight soon.
